Squirrel 5,180 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 I have some answers about servers and it isn’t good. https://steamcommunity.com/app/228380/discussions/0/1642041106373158519/ It seems that players being able to host their own lobbies and invite their friends to it isn’t going to be an option at launch. There will be many different lobby types you can join and hopefully you can join on your friends but it does seem that racing with randoms is looking like the only thing we can do to start with. They have said player hosted lobbies is something that can be added depending on community feedback so I’m thinking we bombard their social media and make sure it’s included, if not at launch then very soon after. I’ve linked a steam topic above where the server conversation for consoles has taken place, The Twitter accounts are @bugbeargames for the developers and @thqnordic for the publishers. They are very responsive to their community so we need to tell them what we want. 1 Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/15064-wreckfest/page/3/#findComment-6243 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more of us harassing them to include player hosted servers the better! Racing with randoms can get very frustrating very quickly especially if they rather wreck than race.

doubleg213 746 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 They need to allow hosting your own lobbies,it would be ridiculous not to. On PC the lobbies are great because you can also add bots, so you can always have full and busy races. 2 Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/15064-wreckfest/page/3/#findComment-6250 Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleg213 746 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 It worked great on PC, you set the number and the level of them and when a real player joins it "kicks" the bot so that you always have full lobbies. It would definitely be needed for some of the cross over type of jobs I think.

Apart from the server issues the game is going to be identical to the PC version as well. We just have to harass the devs/publishers so they know there is a large demand for player hosted lobbies. I’d even pay for third party hosting if it was an option.

Best thing to do is get whoever is in charge of the sites social media to start asking the devs etc. Retweet’s from people asking the right questions. I can do what I can and will share reddit and discord links for the relevant places. 1 Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/15064-wreckfest/page/3/#findComment-6261 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence my suspicion that the PS4 release would include everything that we've had on PC so far. 1 Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/15064-wreckfest/page/3/#findComment-6651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interpretation was that PC would be updated and the initial release on PS4 would contain all of the previously published PC stuff plus whatever this new update is.
